Gary，幫我搬一下回收垃圾好嗎?
Gary: Why?
為什么?
Marni: Because I need to take it out to the recycling bin because the recycling truck’s coming tomorrow.
因?yàn)槲乙阉玫交厥绽淠抢?，明天垃圾回收車就來了?/p>
Gary: Oh, because you think someone’s actually going to reuse it?
你覺得真的有人會(huì)再使用這些垃圾嗎?
Marni: Yes, I do. Because I know that it’s making a difference.
是的，我相信這會(huì)帶來積極的改變。
Gary: Why? What’s the point?
為什么?有什么意義?

Gary: It’s not going to make a dent in anything. It’s just going to go into another place where all this other stuff is, and it’s garbage!
這根本改變不了什么。它們只會(huì)被運(yùn)到一個(gè)遍是其他垃圾的地方。
Marni: How can you say that? I believe in making a difference. I take public transportation everywhere. I recycle everything I can. I use minimal electricity. I limit my showers to only five minutes.
你怎么能這么說呢!因?yàn)槲蚁嘈胚@能帶來積極的影響。我去哪兒都坐公交車，盡最大可能回收東西。我的用電量很小，我每次洗澡都限制在5分鐘里。

我猜你坐公交車……

是的。

Unit4：語法點(diǎn)講解
It’s (It is) making a difference.
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)是由be動(dòng)詞的進(jìn)行時(shí)+動(dòng)詞+ing組成。
例：The neighbors are playing their music really loudly.
鄰居們正把音樂放得很大聲。
現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)主要用來表達(dá)持續(xù)進(jìn)行的行為和正在進(jìn)行的事情。
“always,” “constantly,” “continuously”這樣的單詞經(jīng)常用再現(xiàn)在進(jìn)行時(shí)句子里，表示行為的重復(fù)性。
“right now” or “at the moment”這樣的單詞，表示行為正在進(jìn)行。
